It's December, folks and that means one thing- the holiday season is upon us, you all. When I think of the holidays, my mind naturally turns to the tastes and flavors of the season. Frosted sugar cookies, gingerbread, hot cocoa, and of course, fudge. 









I mean, homemade fudge cut into perfect little squares tucked away into tins is just classic Christmas to me. My mother is the fudge maker in our family. 









She always whips up a batch of peanut butter and then a batch of chocolate fudge with walnuts almost every single December. She makes it from scratch and gets it perfect just about every single time. 









Me? Not so much. I was not blessed with her fudge making skills. ;)









But I discovered one secret ingredient last year that helped me finally overcome my fudge making handicap- a tub of store-bought frosting. 









Yes, some may call it cheating, but I just like to call it genius and pretty much foolproof. It has allowed me to finally make a delicious contribution to the family holiday fudge making each December.









I let my mama handle the classic fudges while I branch out and experiment with new flavors using my easy method for making fudge. My latest fudge creation is buttery and rich, made with creamy cookie butter and crunchy pecans. A perfectly decadent & easy to make treat for the holidays...
